Tumors within the testis require biopsy and excision - generally removing the entire testis and cord through an incision in the groin.
Malignant tumors of the testis tend to spread early to the lymph nodes in the abdomen. At times removal of these nodes is needed, but often, depending on the type of tumor, the tumor markers, and the pathologic findings radiation therapy or combination chemotherapy with cisplatin, etopsoide, and bleomycin.Created: 3/15/2005
